My field of research is in structural geology, and my current work focuses on the southern Appalachians. I am interested in three-dimensional geological mapping which incorporates Google Earth and ArcMap. I use these tools to catalog published maps and papers and to incorporate these references with field observations to construct multiple working hypotheses. I am working with Dr. Kevin Stewart on a project where we are investigating some not-well-understood east-west striking lineaments in the Blue Ridge Province.

I enjoy hiking, camping, playing disc golf, and spending time with my wife, Tallulah, in my spare time. I also enjoy cycling, and have converted two bicycles into electric vehicles.
